Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess Clock Timer at none against Castle Crush's 10. Chess Clock Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). Castle Crush's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.2). On price there is nothing between them.
